Application filed March 14, 1924. Serial No. 699,260

This invention relates toheaters and has for an object the provision of a heater which is capable of utilizing crudeoil as a fuel 1n a practical and efiicient manner.

Another object of the inventlon 13 the provision of an oil collecting pan for a heater of the above character which will prevent the escape of excess oil and which in addition will provide for the passage of a prop er amount of air to promote combustion.

' Another object of the invention is the provision of means for removably supporting the pan, sothat the latter may be readi- 1y cleaned, or a new pan easily installed.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means for directing the products. of combustion inwardly and downwardly toward the center of the heater so that the said products of combustion will be properly confined.

the invention furtherincludes the following novel "features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described,illustrated in the accompanying drawingsjand pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of accordance with the Y a heater'constructed in invention. Figure 2 is a horizontal section.

Figure '3 is a detail perspective view of the oil pan.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote cor responding parts, the improved heater is shown as comprlsing a casing or drum 10 having an intermediate cylindrical portion 11 and lower and uppertapered portions 12 and 13, the lower end of the former being open as shown while the upper end of the upper tapered portion 13 is also open and has connection with a smoke pipe. 14 as shown. The casing or drum is, provided with an opening which hinged doors 15.

Located within the heater is an oil pan 16 which is adapted to prevent the escape of excess oil. This pan is of dish-like formation and is provided with an outwardly extending flange 17 which is adapted to be removably positionedupon the upper free edge of an annular flange 18, the lower edge of which is secured to the inner wall of the casing'whilethe upper edge is spaced from said wall. The pan 16'is constructed 7 may be closed by V the passage of air, a nozzle located within so "as to admit air to the interior of the casing to promote combustion andto provide for this and at the same time prevent the escape of oil from the pan, the latter is provided with'a plurality of upwardly extending hollow conical members 19 which are positioned over openings 20 provided in the pan and Whose apices are provided with openings 21.,

Located within the casing abovethe pan 16 is a spray nozzle 22 which is connected to one, end of a fuel supply pipe 23,. the latter-being'in-turn connected to a source of crude oil ,or other source of fuel supply,

a valve v24E serving to control the passage of fuel through the pipe.

Secured to. the inner wall of the casing 10 is an annular bafile wall 25, one edge ortthe said bafile Wall'being secured to the casing withthe wall extending inwardly With the above and other objects in view,

and downwardly toward the center of the casing, so that the productsof combustion -will be directed inwardly and downwardly and will be thus properly confined; 1

The heater maybe supported upon suit able legs 26'.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in itsform, proportions and minor details of constructionandtheright is here- 'in reserved to make such changes as properly falli within the scope" of the' appended claim. i w
